Jia Lian of the Red Chamber

The woman's cough became more and more intense, and the little leopard jumped out: "Quickly check my mother's pulse!"

How can Jia Lian take the pulse to diagnose diseases?

However, Jia Lian decided to alleviate the woman's illness first.

Taking advantage of the opportunity to diagnose the pulse, Jia Lian secretly inserted a trace of energy into the old woman's veins, and found that the woman's pulse was not only weak, but also her left chest meridian was severely blocked. Same disease.

Jia Lian breathed a sigh of relief.

These symptoms are called blood not returning to the heart, and Jia's mother has this disease.

Jia Lian said according to Jia's mother's illness: "Does the patient feel chest tightness and pain, palpitations, and difficulty breathing?"

The little leopard snorted, "All doctors say that, but they can't cure it, hum!"

Jia Lian dared to put Yuanli directly into Jia Mu, but he dared not use Yuanli directly here.He said: "Call my medicine boy, I want to give an injection."

Little Leopard stared: "You don't prescribe medicine?"

Jia Lian said: "I'll relieve your mother's symptoms first, and then I'll prescribe a prescription if you trust me."

Jia Lian memorized many prescriptions for heart palpitations and paralysis, and he just wanted to see which one was more suitable to copy out to fool him.There are also books on cough relief methods, and Jia Lian does not use acupuncture to treat diseases, but uses acupuncture to input Yuanli, and uses Yuanli to temporarily eliminate the focus of coughing.

The reason why the woman coughed was because her throat was swollen and the tubes in her lungs were producing phlegm.

At that moment, ink calligraphy and ink paintings were brought in, Jia Lian took the silver needles, and pierced the patient's Lieque point and Chize point respectively, and then used the twisting mechanism to inject a little strength into the patient's meridians to relieve her throat pain. At the same time as the focus was on, Jia Lian also quietly dredged the congested blood vessels in her left chest.After a cup of tea, the woman fell asleep.

Jia Lian wiped off his sweat on purpose: "Fortunately, I did not disgrace my life."

The little leopard's eyes were red: "Thank you, sir!" He bowed to Jia Lian, his voice choked up: "My mother would cough day and night every winter, and she could hardly sleep. Thank you, sir, for rejuvenating."

After this contact, Jia Lian found a way to subdue the little leopard. He is very filial, so her mother's illness is Jia Lian's opportunity.

Jia Lian was in a good mood and asked, "How much do you know about Lingtang's condition?"

The little leopard said: "As far as I can remember, my mother has been coughing every winter, and it has never stopped."

Jia Lian frowned: "Where's your father? Why didn't he hire a famous doctor for your mother?"

The little leopard suddenly changed his face: "I shouldn't ask..."

But Jia Lian raised his hand to stop the little leopard: "Don't wake up your mother, go out and talk!"

The little leopard's expression softened a little when he heard this, and he followed Jia Lian out and went downstairs to the wing on the left.

Jia Lian found a seat and sat down, looking at the little leopard: "I won't ask your father anymore, can you talk about how your mother got sick?"

The little leopard stared at Jia Lian, poured tea for Jia Lian sullenly, and put it in front of him: "I don't have a father! There is nothing to say about my mother's illness."

Jia Lian nodded: "Forget it, I was thinking that your mother's experience should be related to her palsy, and finding out the crux of the problem will help the treatment of the disease. If the heart is not cleared, it is probably useless to take more medicine. My acupuncture can only relieve the pain temporarily, but it treats the symptoms but not the root cause. Her disease is treated half by medicine and half by recuperation. If she can’t get rid of her heart knot and has no positive desire to survive, the disease will hardly improve.”

The little leopard suddenly showed resentment, and he gritted his teeth: "If my mother can't recover, they can't live anymore."

Jia Lian immediately thought of the young minister of Taipusi who had been stripped naked: "They? Who are they?"

Little Leopard's eyes suddenly showed vigilance: "I said, it has nothing to do with you. If you want to survive, don't ask more questions."

Jia Lian waved his hand: "Okay, I don't ask, but I want to advise you, you can't kill a person, once the head falls off, people will lose consciousness, but you who kill people will become a lost dog and be hunted down by the court. There is no peace. Isn’t this a dead end, to make the enemy happy? The best revenge is that the enemy suffers, and you are happy. According to me, it is better to let him suffer alive than to let him die. How much he suffers is only fair, don't you think?"

The little leopard seemed to realize something when he heard the words, but suddenly he forced Jia Lian with a dagger: "Who are you and what do you know?"

Jia Lian waved his hand: "I am a wandering doctor, and I was murdered by my enemies once, and I treated others in the same way as others, and now I am living freely, and they are also living, but they are living in pain. "

The little leopard was tyrannical: "You don't understand, unless I kill them, they will live a very happy and nourished life, because I can't deal with them at all in a lawsuit against them."

Jia Lian smiled when she heard the words: "Do you know how I took revenge?"

The little leopard's eyes were full of suspicion: "Didn't you poison them to death, no, you poisoned them and disabled them, and then you ran out to be a wandering doctor?"

Jia Lian shook his head: "No, if someone finds out about poisoning, I will go to jail, so I won't do such a stupid thing. I'm using my strength to fight!"

The little leopard suddenly became interested: "How to use strength to fight?"

Jia Lian smiled lightly and remained silent.

The little leopard groped around on his body, and finally found a piece of emerald jade and stuffed it into Jia Lian's hands: "This is something I just got. I was going to buy it for my mother to buy medicine, but now I give it to you. I have the right to treat it as if it was me who gave it to you." You have learned the tuition of revenge."

After taking the jade, Jia Lian suddenly felt a burst of cool air being sucked into his body along his fingers, and Jia Lian was shocked. This is a spirit stone, which is a little worse than the spirit stone in Jia Lian's well, but it can be used.

Jia Lian looked excited, although the spirit stones in Wudang Mountain are good, they are easy to reveal their whereabouts, and it is not easy to come and go once. Although Pan You'an often travels with Henan, it is useless if no one can go down to the cold pool to fish for spirit stones.

Jia Lian is now a fourth-rank official, and he cannot leave Beijing without the emperor's imperial decree.

"Where did you get this jade?"

The little leopard said: "It's in the cave behind this mountain spring. I got this piece by chance. There are many rocks in the cave. There are many stones similar to this one, but it's not as transparent as this one. I don't think it can be sold. What's the price?"

Jia Lian pretended to be ignorant: "Cave? Are you people here to dig ore?"

The little leopard coughed in embarrassment: "That's right."

Jia Lian glanced at Little Leopard, and in order to ease Little Baozi's vigilance, he deliberately vaguely said, "Your mother's accent doesn't seem to be that of people from the north. Are you refugees who fled from the south at the end of last year?"

The little leopard didn't blow his hair this time, he nodded and said, "That's right!"

Jia Lian asked: "Why do you live here? Last year, the victims of the disaster in the Imperial City got travel expenses. They all went back to their hometowns this spring. Why do you stay here?"

The little leopard suddenly became irritable: "I use jade for tuition, can you teach me revenge?"

Jia Lian was silent.

The little leopard suddenly became anxious: "Why, you think it's too little?"

Jia Lian shook his head: "No, it's just that I have a rule. I have to see if you have been wronged. Sure enough, you have not been wronged. I don't want a single cent. I wish you revenge. If you deceived me, I would rather die than from."

The little leopard said angrily, "Does killing one's mother count as revenge?"

Jia Lian frowned: "Isn't your mother alive?"

"You didn't let me ask how my mother got sick, or it was caused by being pushed down the canal in winter. Do you think this revenge should be avenged?"

Jia Lian nodded: "Sure enough, of course you want to take revenge. But, do you know who your enemy is? Where is it now? Are you a powerful person or a wealthy gentry? You can tell me all these things clearly, so that I can tailor a plan for you and help you design a revenge plan." ? You don’t say anything, how can I help you?”

The little leopard suddenly had tears in his eyes, and smashed the case hard: "The bad thing is that the dog thief is an official ordered by the court. Once he is killed, he will be entangled in lawsuits. Besides, my mother has a lot of worries. Otherwise, we If you risk your life, you will kill him."

Jia Lian pretended to be surprised: "The imperial court ordered officials? How did you offend such an enemy? It's a bit tricky, but it's not impossible..."

The little leopard immediately followed Jia Lian's plan and asked, "What way?"

Jia Lian pointed to the little leopard and said, "He is an official appointed by the court, and you should also be an official, an official older than him, so that you can appeal your grievances to the emperor. The emperor has his own opinion, do you think Or not?"

The little leopard sneered: "You're fooling me, he is in his prime and has already been in the third rank of the official rank, and I am only 15 years old. I can hardly surpass him in my life, right?"

Jia Lian snorted: "15 is not too young. Gan Luo is the prime minister at 15, and Zhou Yu is the governor at [-]. You are not too young at [-]. It's just that you don't want to work hard."

The little leopard was hesitant to say something, but he heard footsteps outside the door, Jia Lian raised his head, but it was the people who had been robbed just now.When these people saw Jia Lian, they yelled, "Young master, is this old boy useful or not? Xiao Qiqi is still guarding the side of the canal. He said that if he met Lang Zhong, he would catch him again and replace the mistress. cure."

Jia Lian watched coldly, with a high face, pretending to disdain to be with them.

Seeing this, one of the men with a sharp face raised his hand to scare Jia Lian: "What kind of eyes do you have, do you look down on people? Why are you a wandering Taoist priest?"

Jia Lian sneered: "I am free to come and go. I don't force others to make things difficult! Don't do to others what you don't want, that's what a gentleman does!"

The man suddenly got annoyed and raised his hand to really hit him, but was stopped by the little leopard: "Being hit, he has real skills, my mother is asleep."

The man hurriedly stopped, cupped his hands and apologized: "Oh, this is really meeting a real Bodhisattva, disrespectful and disrespectful!"

The little leopard waved his hands: "Go back and rest, don't disturb my mother, it's been a month, and my mother hasn't slept well."

After these busy men left, the little leopard cupped his hands at Jia Lian: "Don't be surprised, sir, they are all rough people, and their hearts are not bad. My mother and I have been taken care of by them all these years, otherwise, I would not grow up."

Jia Lian asked casually, "Who are you? This place is not suitable for human habitation except for trees and rocks."

The little leopard sighed: "If I say that we are fishers, would you believe me?"

Jia Lian frowned: "Fishers? Shouldn't fishermen live on the boat? Why did they come up the mountain?"

Little Leopard sneered: "Can you convince I, sir?"

Jia Lian let go of his ears and saw that there was no one else around except the calligrapher and painter Ertong. He suddenly made a decision and said with a smile: "As long as you can treat people with sincerity and convince me with facts, I will definitely avenge you. If you break your oath, you will be destroyed!"

The little leopard was stunned, and said for a while: "Sir, there is no need to be like this. Our story is very simple. My mother is from the south of the Yangtze River. She followed my father to Huguang to become an official. In order to marry another new love, my father returned to Beijing to report on his duties. He pushed my mother into the river. He thought my mother was dead, so he left the tomb for my mother. Three months later, he married his boss's daughter as his wife. His wife gave birth in July, and everyone else was pregnant in October. But it's only July, do you know why?"

Jia Lian asked, "Who were those people just now?"

The little leopard said: "They are fishermen from Hanchuan. They were forced to flee because they offended the local tyrants. My mother was rescued by my stepfather. Later, my stepfather died of illness. It was they who helped our mother and son to live to this day. Therefore, they Escape, and we also escaped."

Jia Lian frowned: "Who did they offend? They escaped, where are their families?"

The little leopard said: "The son of the inspector of Huguang fell in love with Father Peng's daughter Qiuying and wanted to grab her by force as a concubine. Father Peng's daughter promised Brother Luo to be his wife. She has already been married but has not yet married. Therefore, Father Peng refuses to marry her." , the son of the inspector took advantage of the opportunity of the man at home to go out, and snatched Qiu Yingqiang onto the boat. Ying was humiliated and lost all thoughts. Dead in the middle of the night."

Jia Lian understood: "So Brother Luo killed Ancha's son in a fit of anger, and you all fled overnight?"

The little leopard nodded: "I didn't kill the son of the inspector. The thief had many men. We couldn't do it. We just beat the dog thief and disabled us, and we were injured. Then, the inspector sent troops to chase us down. We had no choice but to jump." Later, we dived back in the middle of the night to pick up our family members, only to find that the real fishing village was in flames, and most of the houses in the fishing village were wooden and bamboo buildings. There was no way to rescue them when the fire burned, except for a few people who ran out. The young daughter-in-law and the rest of the old and weak women and children were all burned to death. My mother escaped because of perennial illness and could not sleep well. We sent the family members who escaped to Henan to hide among the reeds by the river After three days and three nights, I finally searched for an opportunity to burn down the painting boat at the inspector's house. The thief was on the boat, and I don't know if he is dead or alive."

Hu Guang as the envoy?Jia Lian really didn't matter, because he asked, "What's the surname of the inspector?"

The little leopard said: "The surname is Gu. My mother seems to know his heels. She said that the surname is Gu Jiangnan's famous family. We can't afford to offend him. We were planning to go to Beijing to sue, but we didn't dare to go. It is said that there are Gu family members in the imperial palace of the capital. People, if we go, we will die. Therefore, we dare not go to Beijing to sue, and we cannot return to our hometown. In the end, we had to find this abandoned village to settle down."

Jia Lian breathed a sigh of relief, it's not just that he is used to bandits.

But what happened to the bloody smell on their bodies?

"How many soldiers did you guys kill the envoy?"

The little leopard said: "We were lurking in the middle of the night, and suddenly we were in trouble. We were killing each other in the dark, killing each other. We don't know if anyone is dead or not. Anyway, I think, if the people on the boat are not dead, their skin will be peeled off."

Jia Lian asked again, "When did you come to Beijing?"

"It's also our luck. Dongyue went to Beijing and hid for a while. We met a large number of refugees coming to Beijing. We took the opportunity to sneak in and lived in Tianqi Temple for a while. After the spring festival, a large number of refugees returned home. We are not from Jiangnan. If there is no guide, we had to hide on the mountain and fish in the canal in the middle of the night to make a living. Later, we met the merchant ship of the Gu family. When our enemies met, we were extremely jealous. We snatched their medicinal herbs. Later, we simply shortened the business without capital, anyway. Those wealthy households are not kind people."

Jia Lian tentatively said: "As far as I know, a strange incident happened on the canal. An official went home to worship his ancestors, but he was robbed of all his finances and clothes, and was forced to kneel on the boat and plead guilty. That person won't be your worry?"

The little leopard's eyes flashed with hatred: "Exactly!"

Jia Lian was very surprised: "Why did you kill them?"

It's a pity in Jia Lian's heart that if this kind of scum is killed, he will be killed. If there is a disaster, there will be fewer corrupt officials.

The little leopard snorted: "I want my mother to take revenge in person, but my mother doesn't allow me to kill people, saying that it's a reincarnation of heaven, killing my father is inauspicious, and forcing me to let people go, otherwise she will kill herself. I have no choice but to let them go." .”

Jia Lian nodded: "Your mother is right, killing him and dirtying your hands is useless."

The little leopard suddenly showed suspicion: "Who are you? Why do I think you look like an official instead of a doctor?"

Jia Lian smiled: "Did you see it? I think I did a good job pretending to be a doctor?"

The little leopard jumped up and was about to pinch Jia Lian's neck: "You spy, I'll kill you!"

With a flash, Jia Lian reached out to touch his waist, and the little leopard collapsed to the ground.

Jia Lian ordered Mo Shu Mo Hua: "Tie it up!" The two of them were about to tie up the little leopard to prevent him from doing bad things, but they heard footsteps on the stairs and a weak voice came: "Please benefactor, please stop for a while, little boy!" The woman has something to say!"

Jia Lian looked back and saw that the woman had gray hair and a face that was pale but handsome. It could be seen that she looked good when she was young.

Jia Lian cupped his hands: "But Mrs. Li in person?"

The woman smiled lightly: "Don't dare, please call me Aunt Mi."

Jia Lian was kind and called Aunt Mi.

The woman stretched out her hand and begged, "Please go upstairs and talk to the officer."

Jia Lian went upstairs and sat down in the middle hall. The woman took the seat and said: "My son probably told the official about me, but he didn't know my background. My father was a Jinshi, because I don’t know how to be an official, offended my colleagues and was squeezed out, and returned to my hometown to farm and study in a fit of anger. I opened a library to teach in my spare time, and was very popular with my neighbors. Li Mingtang was my father’s student. He loves money, so he takes him as his apprentice, does not take any money, teaches him, and later betroths him with confidence, and sponsors him to go to Beijing for the exam. The scoundrel Li Mingtang is not bad in his studies, but his luck in the exam is not good. He took the exam for three years, but he is a fellow Jinshi .My father made a big deal of his old face and begged him to be the magistrate of Luotian, Huguang.

The woman nodded her head: "Good advice, my lord!"

Jia Lian sighed: "Since she is the daughter of the same age, why did Master Wang marry this family? Could it be that all the men in the world are dead?"

The woman said with a smile: "It's not my fault, Mr. Wang, and it's a lowly man surnamed Li who seduced other women in the boudoir. Parents always prefer their own children. I also met a good person to save me. As the saying goes, the way of heaven is good." Reincarnation, personal evil, there will always be retribution one day."

When Jia Lian heard the words, he felt a sudden respect in his heart: "Madam is so self-restraining and magnanimous!"

The woman smiled and said: "I have hated it for many years, but then I suddenly figured it out. I have always hated them, but I have to keep in mind their ugly names. Alright, I have the grace to save my life, I treat Little Leopard like my own, except for being illiterate, everything is better than Li, so why should I worry about another unrighteous person."

Jia Lian frowned: "Excuse me, Madam doesn't want your father to order you?"

The woman's complexion darkened: "After I was arrested, my parents were stimulated and became seriously ill. Fortunately, I have brothers and nephews to take care of my parents. They are living a very good life now, with no worries about food and clothing, and my children and grandchildren are around my knees. I feel at ease. .That hypocrite surnamed Li has been treating me as my ex-wife all these years, but she has taken care of my natal family, which is why I let him go."

Jia Lian nodded: "He did it for his own peace of mind. The moment he decided to kill his wife and son, he was no longer a human being. But I can tell that Young Master Ling can't let it go."

The woman sighed: "So, I don't want to mention this person, and I don't want to have anything to do with this person. Although my son is working hard with me, he is very happy. I don't want him to be blinded by hatred. Who would have guessed that he will be blinded by him?" Knowing the clues, I fell into hatred. The matter has come to this point, and I have no objection to his seeking justice. I only have one request, that is, not to allow him to kill his father and blood brothers, lest he be confused by the killing and destroy himself. I don't think it's worth ruining myself for those scumbags. I don't care about the rest, just follow his will."

Jia Lian fell silent, and Jia Lian was very touched by the open-mindedness and wisdom of this woman.

However, Jia Lian did not agree with her appeasement to his enemy.
